Vanishing points, but not why I shot them.

The top photo, is on the "Calhoun Street" bridge, which spans the Delaware River between Trenton, NJ, & Morrisville, PA. (It was built in 1905 by the army Corps of Engineers, if my memory serves me.)
I asked my wife what she saw first in the photo. She said first it was the blue in the sky, and then the structure of the bridge itself. She did not say anything at all about what it was that I saw when I took the photo. I took the cloud bank hovering over the river due to the difference in the temperature of the water in the air. One can hardly see it.
The second photo is on the bike and hiking path alongside the almost 200 year old barge canal in Yardley Pennsylvania. I tried to capture the way the light glistened on the melted frost path. One can hardly see it.

Firstly, I appreciate both photos. In the first I can't really see anything outside of the bridge structure. My eyes keep getting sucked down the bridge to the vanishing point. In the second I can easily see the reflection of the frosty path.

The bridge and sky overwhelmed me, David. I am happy that you pointed out the fog. The path shot was easier to understand, but I went for the leading lines before the shining path. Just a poor selection of audiences (LOL).

First thing I saw was the cloud bank. I wasn't sure what it was at first!

Both photos lend themselves nicely to black and white conversion ..., especially the bridge shot.

The bridge and sky sucked me in to the point I never saw the fog bank. The bike path was a leading line that took me on a ride to the end that disappeared.

Given the results, don't you wish it were the reason? Don't worry, be happy.
Some of my favorite pictures hanging on the wall are not why I took them.
